Grips are a bit slippery when just using your index and thumb, which I do alot. Habbit from my dirtbike racing days. Grips are very comfortable and the levers are amazing! Much more control, I now use 1 finger for brake, its such an improvement over stock. Clutch side is a little awkward for me right now as Ive always used a long clutch and shorty brake, but Im adjusting quickly. I actually have been shifting better with the new clutch adjustment I did at lunch. Overall almost zero play in the levers, great quality. Grips are slick looking and high quality also. Overall very happy. Now to swap the bars, thinking of going Rizoma black bars with Rizoma risers....
